Indicative. Freight is usually payable on the bill of lading quantity; min/max cargo options and deadfreight are matters for the charter party.

How it is calculated

  • Lumpsum = rate per mt × quantity
  • Rate per mt = lumpsum ÷ quantity
  • Net = lumpsum × (1 − commissions)

Address commission goes to charterers, brokerage to the brokers; both are deducted from freight as agreed in the charter party.
